Where to Buy Beam Dumps
Various kinds of beam dumps can be used for temporarily or permanently blocking a laser beam, often for reasons of laser safety. High-power versions are fan-cooled or water-cooled to safely dissipate the absorbed laser energy, ensuring safe operation in laboratory and industrial environments.

 Your reliable partner for photonics innovations! Dvarcioniu St. 2B LT-10233 Vilnius Lithuania ISO 9001:2015 |  EKSMA Optics offers air-cooled or water-cooled beam dumps for blocking of CW or pulsed laser beams in 0.1 – 30 µm wavelength range. |
 We like it black ACM Coatings GmbH (subsidiary of Acktar Ltd.) Jakobsring 3 06618 Naumburg (Saale) Germany |  Acktar's laser beam dumps increase safety and reduce the risk of laser damage by trapping the beam entered into the aperture. They fit for most beam sizes and can be used in a lab or any other optical system. They are suitable for CW and pulsed beams up to 20 W/cm2 (tested value). They are available for a wide wavelength range from EUV through VIS and up to the LWIR. The built-in mounting suits a standard optical stand (M6 × 1.0) and can be easily held. In addition to the unique design the advantage of having Acktar’s coatings implemented into the device you get the reflectivity factor of less than 10−6.
